Server.CreateObject 800a01ad error 1

[finny]

I created a dll to reference from an ASP page.

When I run the page I get the following error...


Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
/Forecast_Local/ReportProc.asp, line 66


I have the compiled dll ("reports&quotsitting on my local machine, running PWS in a development environment.

I have also created a small VB app that uses the dll and when run, that app works fine.

My ASP code is as follows...

dim RepFunc
Set RepFunc = Server.CreateObject("Reports.Functions&quot

Page blows up on Server.CreateObject("Reports.Functions&quot

I have the package installed in MTS and the dll was compiled on my machine.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out!

Thx in advance....Joe

Did you register the dll with Windows? You need to Regserv your dll before the server will use it. You're VB program doesn't need to register it as it imports it when it runs. Harold Blackorby

Type: regsrv32 c:\path\name_of_dll.dll

Thx for tips. However, you do not need to register the dll w/regsvr32 if you compile on local machine. I changed the dll to simplify for testing purposes and it ran ok. So that leaves me with the code in the dll not processing correctly from the *.asp page.

I'll get that figured out.

thx again...joe

Obvious question....is the DLL an ActiveX DLL?
